 Description of the problemI have 2004 harley davidson road king police. I was coming down the canyon and my rear brake pedal went all the way down on a curve. I used as much front brake as i could with outlocking up the wheel. Before i could stop i had to go off the road to avoid a truck in front of me. I then had to lay the bike down to avoid going in the river. A guy stopped and helped me get it back up to the road. I notice when i pushed the rear brake pedal that brake fluid was spraying out of the metal brake line about 2" behind the master cylinder. I called a tow truck to take it home. I took the vin# into timp harley in lindon,utah and asked if there was any other reports or recalls they told me no. I asked if there was a phone number to harley davidson that i could file a complaint to. They told me no because the bike was 6 yrs old and harley would not do anything. I had then had them check the price and availability of a new brake line. They told me it would be about $70. 00 but when they checked the availability they found the brake line mine used had been discontinued and there was a updated line that would cost over $160. 00 and was on backorder. It seems to me there is obviously a problem if they have discontinuing the original line and have a backorder on the new updated line. I thank god i didn't have my wife or kid on with me when i crashed and i feel they should be recalling all of the unsafe lines and installing the updated line at the mfgs expense before someone is killed.
